      I think a lot about how the inevitability of former vice presidents winning presidential primaries, combined with the incompetence with which both pre-VP Biden and Harris ran in primaries before being selected, effectively indicates presidential primaries are non-democratic

      Like, Biden ran for president and nobody wanted him. Harris ran this year and nobody wanted her either. (Plus her campaign was extremely incompetent.) Biden won despite not being any less of a piece of shit than he was sixteen years ago because NAME I RECOGNIZE LOL.

      And despite not even having made it far in the primaries Harris got selected for VP, and in the specious Resistance fever dream in which normality is restored this year and we get an eight-year Pax Bidenis, Harris will probably win that primary for the selfsame reasons

      It honestly shouldn't surprise me how disinterested the Democrats are in even cultivating the _appearance_ of being meritocratic but there it is

      I imagine the counter-argument would be that meritocracy is still there; it's just that the voters (at least presently-constituted and counted via the current system) aren't reliable judges of "merit" - which, despite how it sounds "out loud" I kinda have hard time challenging 🤷‍♂️

      I would go so far as to say that democracy and meritocracy (or technocracy) are fundamentally opposed ideas When people actually believe they have an objective standard of merit their first impulse is to insulate it from corruption by mob rule as much as possible

      Like if you actually hate that name rec is the primary thing that drives success in a primary then you just... shouldn't have a primary There is no magical way to hold a popular election that will change this extremely basic fact about how voting works

      If you want to take a poll of how people feel about the issues in the abstract and then appoint a nominee whose platform objectively aligns with those positions best then... you should just do that You shouldn't hold an election, because that will give you a different answer

      This is the thing when people get outraged by the DNC going "We're a private organization, in theory we can pick whoever we want" It may sound ugly but it's fundamentally true at the end of the day, and it's not a bad thing in and out itself that that's true

          A lot of the perversities of democracy people don't like could only be directly opposed by making the primary system less democratic

          There's strong arguments to be made for doing stuff like barring primary losers from repeatedly trying again or intentionally weighting the contest toward upstarts and newcomers but all of that is putting a thumb on the scale of "democracy"
